A Lantern is a small light source that hangs from ceilings (the underside of blocks). They occupy less space than a Chandelier, making them ideal for smaller spaces. Lanterns can be toggled on and off via wires, except for Firefly in a Bottle, Lightning Bug in a Bottle, and all soul in a bottle variants. Soul in a bottle variants also do not count as a light source for NPC's.

There are two Lanterns that provide regeneration buffs. The Heart Lantern and the Star in a Bottle. The Heart Lantern provides a buff that increases health regeneration within a 170-tile by 125-tile rectangular region centered on the Heart Lantern, which stacks with Campfires' buff and Honey's buff. Toggling the Heart Lantern off will only deactivate the light source, and not the buff. The Star in a Bottle works in a similar way, but adds a mana regeneration buff instead of health.

The Skull Lantern and Jack 'O Lantern, while being named Lanterns, are not like the rest of the lanterns in that they need to be placed on a flat surface.
